Chapter 167: Touting and Italy for a Three-Day Tour

The post-match technical statistics given by the TV broadcaster and the FM system are very similar to those in the half, except for the shooting link and ball possession, Fiorentina has a big advantage in terms of away games, and the success rate of passes, crosses, tackles and headers is generally ten percentage points higher than that of the Torino team, which also makes the Purple Lily another "unlucky egg" after the Roma team who won the data but lost the game.

Three hours later, in the final game of the league game, the Red Wolves beat Inter Milan 2-1 thanks to goals from Dzeko and Greek centre-back Manolas. At this point, the seventh round of the 2016-17 Serie A season is over, and the Red Bulls have won four consecutive games and 15 points with 5 wins and 2 losses to occupy the second place in the standings, and he only has 18 points against the rival Juventus.

And Li Mudi's previous "three major prophecies" also seem to have two meanings that seem to be realized, Inter Milan won Pescara one after another in the first two rounds of the league (it's really warm everywhere!). ), Juventus and Empoli (No. 2 Sending Warmth) were considered by the media to have slapped Li Mudi in the face. However, after being held to a draw by Bologna in sixth place, the Nerazzurri suffered two consecutive defeats in the Europa League, and today they lost to direct rivals Roma, and the league table suddenly slipped to 10th place, which really looks like a bad year. Gasperini, who was very favored by the Torino coach, led Atalanta to only three points in the first five rounds, and after almost coming to the brink of dismissal, he recovered strongly, defeating Crotone and the powerful Napoli in succession, and the ranking also rose to 13th.

On the contrary, Genoa, another team that is not favored by Li Mudi, has been holding on, and is only one point behind Torino in fourth place in the league. This only failure of the prediction was also tightly grasped by the "anti-Lee" media, which continued to attack the arrogance and ignorance of the Torino manager.

However, the current wind direction is far from the previous few months, in the face of the record of many giants, if you want to continue to retain the already insignificant discipline and catered to the reader's orientation, the vast majority of the media can only praise Li Mudi. With the exception of a handful of companies such as Torino Sport, La Repubblica and Corriere della Sera that have genuinely praised Li Mudi's prowess, the rest of the media can only give credit to each member of the club, as well as favourable fixtures and sluggish opponents to play a role in this achievement. But the eyes of the masses are bright, on the Italian Internet, fans have a high evaluation of the head coach from the Celestial Empire, thinking that although the current tactics of the Torino team seem to be a little utilitarian, the number of shots on goal is really a lot, which is completely different from those who were really conservative before.

And in Li Mudi's "back garden" Datian Empire, professionals and fans are naturally "don't blow it now, but when", there is a paradise of MD honey everywhere, and the sunspots can only hide in the corner and temporarily hibernate, so that they can vent and accumulate strength when Turin and Li Mudi capsize in the future. Taking advantage of this wave of craze, Lin Zixu's private mobile phone, which had just been certified as Li Mudi's spokesperson in China, was blown up in an instant, and various media interviews and business advertising endorsements were like bees seeing super-large stamens, and they squeezed to the door at once, making Lin Zixu, who had just returned to work on the front line, really not very comfortable for a while, and felt that his brain hurt from being bombed.

Li Mudi has been in a very low-key state since he was known by the Chinese people since he coached in Spain, and the only direct interview that can be found back to China is a joint interview conducted by a number of media outlets after the press conference when he first joined Turin. There are more video materials, but there is only a special program produced for it by the "World Football" column, as well as cameos in the two TV series "Mr. Good" and "In the Name of the People". Even if the new season can show a small face on Penguin Live after every game, but it is mostly nonsense, and there is no practical content, which is too weird for a sports star who has become popular all over the country. You must know that although Da Yao and Sister Na at the same level are not easy to be interviewed, their exposure is not low, and various high-level endorsements are always swiped on the screen of major media, even if they do not reach the level of "XX see you every day", at least the sense of existence will not be missing. And a "hot old bacon" like the Turin coach has been playing missing, how can this work, we must stand up and accept the baptism of people's capital.

Whether it is men's shampoo, skin care products, underwear and other private products, or domestic cars, mobile phones, household appliances and other things that are more expensive in price and grade, and even various online games and professional websites have rushed up, hoping to take advantage of the Turin coach is on fire to quickly rub a wave of heat, and the price is not low. However, Lin Zixu is indeed experienced and knows how to grasp the proportions, and he has a non-top-notch attitude in selecting the objects that can be contacted, and directly excludes more than 80% of the merchants, of course, on the premise of not offending people. After all, the excuse is easy to find: the person is abroad, the time is very limited, and it cannot meet everyone's requirements. Even so, in the end, he still sorted out a list of as many as sixteen companies that met the preliminary requirements, and sent it to Li Mudi on the other side of the world by email, hoping that the other party could make a decision as soon as possible.

However, the Torino coach didn't have time to check any emails at this time, and after a hurried post-match press conference, he announced a three-day holiday in front of the entire team, except for the few players who needed to report to the national team, everyone could enjoy this short long vacation. Li Mudi slipped away as soon as possible, got into a pre-booked taxi, and ran to the hotel where his family lived before the paparazzi guarding outside the club gate surrounded him. When I got there, it was close to 21 p.m. local time, and everyone was waiting for him to have dinner together.

Not only did it have a lot of authentic Celestial Dynasty food, such as back pot meat, boiled fish, husband and wife lung slices and other Sichuan takeaways, but also the hotel's famous Italian dishes such as Piedmontese meat dumplings, grissini bread and T-bone steak, and of course, the children's favorites - pizza and pasta. In this regard, Li Mudi said that the so-called cuisine of these European countries is really weak compared with our Great Celestial Empire, noodles are made of various shapes, but the taste is so kind, the way to eat meat and seafood is also very simple, and most of the dishes are inseparable from cheese and cheese, which may not even be a cuisine in the Celestial Empire. Fortunately, my parents, sister, and brother-in-law all ate very happily, and the two nephews ate with round stomachs and were very addicted. In addition, they had watched a wonderful football game at the scene before, especially their dearest son, brother and uncle were still the final winners, and finally drove away all the discomfort caused by the more than ten hours of continuous flight flights.

After breakfast the next morning, the family of eight packed steamed buns and headed out to the sights of Turin under the guidance of the temporary guide. Of course, this time Li Mudi did not dress up again, but spent money to hire four strong men from the security company to protect their group throughout the process. Fortunately, those Italian paparazzi were quite interesting, and they knew that harassment at this time would not only inevitably be blocked, but also completely anger the Turin coach, so they just followed behind with all kinds of photos, and did not approach rashly without opening their eyes, which also made the journey of the nine Celestial Empire people rare easy and free.

The city of Turin is located in the north of Italy, on the left bank of the Po River, and is surrounded by the Alps to the northwest of the city. And because it is the capital of the Piedmont region and the province of Turin, and the first capital of the Kingdom of Italy after the unification of the Kingdom of Italy in the mid-19th century, there are many buildings with a strong old aristocratic temperament in the city. Walking through the streets is like visiting an open-air museum, from the Palatine Gate, built in ancient Roman times, to the ornate Baroque architecture designed by the great masters. Due to the limited time of Li Mudi, he only had three days to spend with his family, so he made a simple plan beforehand, one day in Turin, one day in Milan, one day in Rome, and then went their separate ways. He went back to the team to work, his parents went back to Mallorca, and the eldest and second sisters went to Germany to play with their sister who lived there (that is, the one who was teammates with Liu Kong, the two national table tennis head coaches, at the same time when he played table tennis).

It is certainly impossible to run the whole city of Turin in one day, so at the suggestion of the guide, Li Doudi chose the most representative Mole Antonelliana (Mole Antonelliana), Palazzo Reale (Turin Royal Palace), Piazza Castello (Piazza Castello), Plazzo Madama (Plazzo Madama) and other almost ten attractions, but even so, they still could not go to all of them. In addition to the fact that each place has too many characteristics that are worth watching carefully, and consuming extra time, the way of visiting like a rush is also disliked by everyone, so with full of reluctance and regret, the group still took a car to Milan City, not far from Turin, at half past seven in the evening, and rested there directly after dinner, waiting for the next day's trip. Li Mudi and the tour guide, who need to screen scenic spots, are naturally the last to rest, and this night's sleep is really a little insufficient compared to the fatigue caused by walking around the day before, but this time the opportunity to play with the family is too rare, so I have to grit my teeth to overcome it.

In addition to staying in the largest Gothic church in the world, the Duomo di Milano, the rest of the attractions such as the Monastery of Santa Maria de Milan and the Sforza Castle are as far as possible to pass by, although it will be a pity, but at the end of the day to run fourteen attractions, it can be regarded as a matter of quantity to make up for the lack of quality.

It is worth mentioning that the group had a very authentic Celestial Empire dinner in Milan, and Restaurant Shanji, located on the edge of Chinatown in the center of the city, can be said to be a famous Italian Celestial Empire restaurant. The boss is a very handsome middle-aged man, the attitude is also first-class, the main staff in the store are mostly compatriots of the Celestial Empire, and the decoration style also has strong oriental characteristics. Of course, the evaluation of the quality of a restaurant is ultimately reflected in whether its dishes are good or not, their main Sichuan cuisine and Cantonese cuisine, although there is still a certain gap from the top chefs in China, but at least in the eyes of Li Mudi, who has been in Europe for ten years, is definitely the most in line with the taste of the people of the Celestial Empire. Garlic pork ribs, mapo tofu, stir-fried beef river and fish-flavored eggplant are all delicious, not to mention the fragrant rice, which is hard to eat on the European continent. And the price is ridiculously low, they include the tour guide and bodyguards, a total of fourteen people, plus the drinks only cost a total of more than 400 euros, just counting the food, the average person is less than twenty-five, which is really conscientious. Li Mudi said that if the other party can deliver food to Turin, which is 100 kilometers away, then he will hand over all his dinners in the future. However, as the greatest pride of the football world in the Celestial Empire, the Turin coach still got enough respect from the boss, although the other party's proposal to discount was politely rejected by Li Mudi (I am really embarrassed to accept, the price is already very low), but a photo of the two will be hung in a conspicuous position in the hotel lobby in the future, and a VIP card that can really get takeaway service on special days is naturally indispensable, in short, everyone is very satisfied.

After dinner, he took a plane to the Italian capital, and Li Mudi found that the paparazzi who had been following them for two days had disappeared, and the successor was a local tabloid reporter in Rome. There are even more places to visit in the city of Rome, such as the Colosseum, the Pantheon, the Bridge of Sant'Angelo, the Trevi Fountain (Trevi Fountain) and the Arch of Constantine, among others, as well as dozens of sightseeing spots of all sizes at the same level. Fortunately, my sister and brother-in-law decided to take advantage of the Spring Festival holiday to come to Italy again, which did not make everyone end this unforgettable three-day trip to three cities with more regrets.

After sending the eldest sister and the second sister on the flight to Munich, Li Mudi said goodbye to his parents who flew back to Spain, and then returned to Turin with Baozi, and immediately took a taxi to Juventus Stadium after leaving the airport, where a strong conversation was about to begin.
